Funky Crochet Coasters

﻿

I decided to make some funky new coasters out of some left over cotton yarn. They look very cute and would make a creative hostess gift. This pattern is very easy. If you are new to crochet, it is easiest just to keep it a solid colour. I have added the colour changes that I used but they could be changed in any rows you choose.
